The very thing we try to get rid of-our weariness, our distractedness, our messiness-is what gets us in the front door!

恰恰是这些我们要弃绝东西——疲惫，心神不宁，满身的尘土——把我们带到主的台前。

If you exist in aperpetual state of distractedness, you'll never tap into the deepest sources ofhuman insight and creativity.

如果你总是处于一种心烦意乱的状态，你就无法深入到人类最为深层次的领悟和创造之中。

Working steadily on one task over an extended time is a good sign that you were in the creative zone, while rapid shifting from task to task suggests distractedness.

持续稳定地做一件事是个好现象，说明你处于富有创造力的状态，而迅速地更换着做事说明你精力不集中。
